A height, which supported the left ut the _English army, and upon which they appeared - disposed to fortify thenwAves, was also carried by the first of these corps the most bril liant Manner. But tie night coming on, our troops could not secure the position. On the 28th, after . the two armies had fought for some time with (m -ixt, ed success, the enemy were not only driven f riln the height which they occupied on their left, but were forced to ahandon Talavera de la Reyna, and all their line, after a most determined and ob stinate contest. The Impetiai army slept on the field of battle. The Portuguese corps bad advanced under the-command of General WILSON, as far as Naval Cotuero, but returned on the 26th July. The loss of the enemy has been very considerable. All our regiments were engaged, with the exception of the receive. The situation of the ground rendered it impossible for the cavalry to act.
